The snow is light outside, but I can’t bring myself to get up and leave. Only five more blocks and I’m there. Instead, I’ve been sitting in this bakery for two hours, getting up the nerve to see my brother and sister face to face for the first time since I was nine years old.
It’s not like we’re strangers. We’ve talked a lot since we finally found each other last spring, but I decided to surprise them, which I am now thinking is a really bad idea. What if they’re busy? What if they’re not home? What if they tell me that I should have called first?
I glance at my watch. I really should go before the bakery decides to charge me rent. Grabbing my backpack, I throw it on and then get my crutches secured under my arm.
It’s now or never.
A blonde woman rushes past me, apologizing as she goes, but stops long enough to hold the door for me.
She pauses outside of the bakery and pulls on gloves. My crutch hits a patch of ice and I slide into her. Now it’s my turn to apologize.
“Are you okay?” Her brown eyes fill with worry.
“I’m fine,” I assure her. My pride might be a little bruised, but that’s about it. I’m still trying to get used to these things. “Are you okay?”
“You didn’t hurt me.” She glances around. “Where are you headed?”
“Just down a few blocks.”
“These sidewalks can be treacherous.” She notices my wrapped foot and ankle, which I can’t put any weight on. “Do you need any help?”
“I’ll be fine.”
She bites her lip. “You sure?”
Even if I could use some assistance, , if I start to fall, I’d be taking her with me, not her keeping me upright.
